The boring afternoon past.

Since she wasn't allowed to go outside, Senja did nothing except sleeping, because tonight would be a sleepless night.

She was waiting until nightfall, it was the meeting time that Leader Mo had arranged to meet in the brothel. Although Xiao Tianyao forbade her to come, ignoring that, she still has to come. This matter is related to L Clan and aside from Xiao Tianyao, she has another deal with Uncle Su which was to located Misty Cloud Clan, since L Clan was their subordinates, Uncle Su told her to start with them.

Senja didn't know since when this matter had become complicated like this. But, it has reached this point, besides acted according to the situation she had no other choice.

When it was only an hour away from the meeting time, Senja had ready with her black robe and her turban.

She jumped out from the window. Tonight there were many guards scattered around this Tea House's lodgment, she need to extra careful even with her ability she couldn't just hypnotize each of the guards she met casually. No, she didn't have that ability yet.

Now, Senja was facing a very high wall, it was way too high for her to jumping over. She walked along the wall until she found a large tree that was as high as the wall. She could climb it to cross.

With that plan in mind, she stretched her leg up to the place where she could grab the nearest branch.

"I remember that I told you not to come."

Senja halted at her step and looked down only to found Xiao Tianyao was folding his arms, an irritated glare adorned his handsome face. Senja sat down on the branch with her legs dangling on it.

"And I didn't remember that I agree with that." Senja also crossed her arms with an audible huff.

There was strange silence between them.

"Xiao Tianyao," Senja called out his name that made a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes for a second before it remained calm again. "This is our deal after all. It was me who found out about this meeting. You want me to get involved halfway so that I can't collect your promise?" She complained sullenly.

It wasn't that Senja very eager to go to the brothel, but she has her own reason and purpose as well.

Xiao Tianyao analyzed the girl who was sitting on the branch leisurely. He had been following her since the moment she jumped out from her window, somehow he knew that she would sneak out again and as his prediction, she really did it. It didn't surprise him.

Since he knew how she had acted ever since at the fortress, finding her here was within his understanding. But, what surprise him the most was, the way she had avoided all the guards.

Her movement was very precise, like she knew beforehand where those guards would move. She hid at the right time or turned away at the right place where there were no guards there. Xiao Tianyao very certain that Senja didn't know martial arts and this puzzled him further.

"We will leave or you will ogle at me this entire night?" Senja queried impatiently, "I am quite busy, you know?" She added sarcastically.

Xiao Tianyao observed her with complete interest before he jumped to the same branch where Senja sat, "I don't think I will be able to bear the consequences of delaying your business." He threw an open mockery to Senja.

She was ready to retort when Xiao Tianyao pulled her into his embrace and held her close.
